SnapAV today unveiled more details about Snap Pro Live Virtual, including a state of the industry keynote, more than 35 training and panel sessions, and 2 1/2 weeks of post-event on-demand content kicking off Oct. 13-15.
Snap Pro Live is a virtual event “designed to support SnapAV’s growing global network of dealers by connecting them with industry pros and product experts,” according to the event announcement.
The summit will also feature “in-depth training sessions, panel discussions and the introduction of major new products that would ordinarily be introduced at a traditional trade show,” the Snap Pro Live announcement says.
“We understand that getting hands-on with products, geeking out with technical experts and networking with like-minded professionals at industry events is a source of inspiration and education our partners use to grow their businesses,” said SnapAV CEO John Heyman in the event announcement.
“Although we can’t gather together in person this year, we’ve created an empowering schedule of virtual sessions and events that will energize our partner base and provide them with the information and tools they need to take their business to the next level of success,” he said.
